Final Verdict:
I have been using Kaya Pigmentation Reducer gel for a few months now. Most cream bases of acne creams break me out so it was important for me to find a good gel base product like this one. I could definitely see lightening for acne blemishes within few weeks of usage.One more good thing is it does not cause any peeling or dryness so some times I apply 2-3 times in a day. So I definitely recommend others as well. I agree it is expensive but at the same time it is effective and comes with many positives as well.One tube does last almost 2 months even if used daily. Its frustrating but there are limited number of options available for acne prone skin.
My Rating: 4/5
